[English]

Feeling the past moving in

Letting a new day begin

Hold to the time that you know

You don't have to move on to let go

Add to the memory you keep

Remember when you fall asleep

Hold to the love that you know

You don't have to give up to let go

Remember turning on the the night

...

And moving through the morning light

Remember how it was with you

Remember how you pulled me through

I remember, I remember

I remember, I remember...

I remember, I remember

I remember, I remember...

Feeling the past moving in

Letting a new day begin

Hold to the time that you know

You don't have to move on to let go

Add to the memory you keep

Remember when you fall asleep

Hold to the love that you know

You don't have to give up to let go

...

Remember how it was with you

Remember how it was with you

I remember...

...

Feeling the past moving in

Letting a new day begin

Hold to the time that you know

You don't have to move on to let go

Add to the memory you keep

Remember when you fall asleep

Hold to the love that you know

You don't have to give up to let go

Remember turning on the the night

And moving through the morning light

Remember how it was with you

Remember how you pulled me through

I remember, I remember

I remember, I remember...

I remember, I remember

I remember, I remember...
